CANPASS

The CANPASS or Canadian Passenger Accelerated Service System is a series of programs that expedites the clearance process of frequent, low-risk, pre-screened travelers entering Canada.

CANPASS is only available for Air and Marine travel. The different CANPASS programs are:

  • CANPASS Air (for passengers of commercial airlines)
  • CANPASS – Corporate Aircraft (for travelers who use company-owned aircraft for business purposes)
  • CANPASS – Private Aircraft (for those who use private aircraft)
  • CANPASS – Private Boats (for those who travel by private pleasure boats)
Membership in CANPASS Air requires a fee of Can$50 and is valid for one year. All the other programs have a fee of Can$40 and are valid for five years.
